Chapter 352 - The Day the Angels Advent (1/2)

The Roman Curia making such declarations of war was something no one anticipated.

Despite its size, the organization had long been considered an obscure organization by the entire world

In an era where secular governments had power over everyone else, the Roman Curia would have been doomed if it were to get too involved.

However, the Roman Curia seemed to have now regained all that influence and might it commanded ages ago as the world’s spirit qi continued to be restored.

There was simply no doubt about Lu Xuan’s current status; even the US government had to be cautious of offending him further.

The US government, a democratic organization that claimed to be most respectful of the people’s wishes, chose to stay quiet in response to the raging will of its citizens.

There were even cases of authorities going out to stamp out protests of the people.

The families of troops whom Lu Xuan killed allied and went on to protest in the streets, intending to press the US government into deploying troops to attack Lu Xuan.

However, such attempts resulted in the authorities stamping them out, much to everyone’s shock.

It was not that the US government had never done anything to stamp out protests from the people. It was just that they had already done so a very long time ago, back when the internet was nowhere near as prevalent as it currently was.

Many continued to believe that the US served as the beacon of freedom and democracy, so what happened at the moment shocked all those people. While they still had a lot to say, the power of their voices was no longer as forceful and righteous.

Currently, Lu Xuan was all that the world was talking about; the guy was known throughout the entire planet.

His status was even more so among the cultivators.

There had been a lot of shocking news breaking out as of late. The Covenant of Darkness was severely crippled; not only were all three elders of the vampires taken out of the picture, but the vampires themselves had also been reduced to vermin by everyone.

The dark spellcasters and the werewolves also took severe amounts of damage, while others like the Wailing Witch had also perished.

It could be said that monsters that had once been able to stand against the Roman Curia have suffered a very heavy blow as of late.

That was why it took only words from Lu Xuan to mobilize the entire Maoshan Sect, the members of which were eager to answer to him.

With even the likes of the Covenant of Darkness being almost taken out entirely, there was no doubt that the same could have happened to the Maoshan Sect.

Many saw that there were definitely reasons why the Roman Curia chose to emerge under such circumstances.

In the eyes of many, the Roman Curia was trying to declare war against Lu Xuan to unite the people among the western world of cultivators.

It was their attempt to take back their position as leader of the western cultivators.

The current leaders of cultivators were different from how it had once been. In the past, such leaders were little more than figureheads serving utterly no actual function and having no actual authority.

However, with cultivators now becoming increasingly powerful and influential, becoming the leader and the core of all cultivators in the west would yield them great benefits.

Lu Xuan was made the stepping stone to reach such goals.

Lu Xuan smirked as he said, “You wanna make a stepping stone out of me, huh? Let’s see if you have what it takes to do that.”

Something else happened right after the day the Roman Curia made such declarations of war, with the world still reeling from the declaration’s effects.

Surprisingly, the Roman Curia invited fighters and key political figures to the Vatican to bear witness to the advent of angels in heaven to the mortal realm and cleanse the world of evil.

The world was thrown into further chaos.

Angels?

Everyone initially reacted with utter disbelief. Angels were creatures that seemed to have only existed in myths and legends, just like the Devil that the Roman Curia made Lu Xuan out to be.

However, the use of the term was simply used to describe Lu Xuan as someone who was out to do evil, instead of saying that he truly was a demonic creature.

There was no need to do so if they were planning to create some kind of mystical phenomenon, as the organization would have only been reduced to a laughing stock by all in the world.

There was no way that those of the Roman Curia would make such a joke unless they had actually gone insane.
